    I heard this post was coming and I was impatient to see what it was. This looks amazing. @Lord Vader has extensive knowledge and way too humble to admit his worth. Can't wait to see this develop more

    I have 3 sponge filters in for a start. But will be connecting a 400 liter sump shortly. Will only be putting in fish next year. Some cycle fish maybe. But this tank will need a lot of time to mature

    Thanks guys. We had a great time with it...had a challenge or two with getting that stump in, but we managed in the end.

    I can't wait to see this tank grow in. :)
